Calling Country Fans
Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian pearl will be the setting for the Outlaw Country Cruise, departing February 4-10, 2024 from Miami calling at Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic and San Juan, Puerto Rico. The journey is a creation of Sixthman and Stevie Van Zandt’s Renegade Circus and will feature country music stars and new artists.
Van Zandt is best known as a guitarist in Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band and as an actor on the hit series The Sopranos. He founded Renegade Nation, a company that produces and manages live shows.
More than two dozen artists will perform during the music cruise, including Blackberry Smoke, Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Nikki Lane, 49 Winchester, Shinyribs, Kaitlin Butts, Drivin’ N Cryin, Los Straitjackets, Jim Lauderdale, Dale Watson and his lone stars, Chuck Mead, Jason Ringenberg and his Barnstormers, and the Warner E. Hodges Band.
A statement from Sixthman reads: “The Outlaw music and activity never ends, with five unique venues peppered with unforgettable performances, one-off collaborations, specially curated tribute shows and SiriusXM Sessions at Sea radio recordings hosted by SiriusXM Outlaw Country DJ Steve Earle and be moderated by one and only Mojo Nixon.”
Crusaders wishing to book sailing can register during a pre-sale until March 29, 2023. Public bookings are available on March 31, 2023.

Two weeks after the Outlaw Country Cruise, Sixthman will be collaborating with writer/director Kevin Smith to produce the second themed sailing, Jay & Silent Bob Present Cruise Askew, February 23-26, 2024. The cruise departs from PortMiami and calls at Nassau, Bahamas.
The production of Cruise Askew is part of Smith’s View Askewniverse, a fictional universe that has appeared in comics, films and television.

Kevin Smith said: “As a man who has been afraid of sharks since he first saw Jaws in 1975, I will do my best to make sure none of us get eaten on the Cruise Askew! I will also do everything I can to ensure we all have a great time on the high seas, loading the three days with all the activities a fan of my films could ever wish for.”
As with the Outlaw Country Cruise, pre-sale registrations can be made until March 29, 2023 and bookings are open from March 31. Crusaders who register during presale are eligible for a cabin photo with Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes as Jay & Silent Bob.
